Tue, Feb 26 2013: KEN MODE

“Secret Vasectomy” another KEN MODE track from the forthcoming ‘Entrench’ album, has premiered online. The song is available through Brooklyn Vegan and Invisible Oranges.

Regarding the new song, frontman Jesse Matthewson said "It was one of the first songs we put together during the 'Entrench' writing sessions, but more particularly it was the first that we truly collaborated on with Andrew, as the other three songs we finished in that first get-together were largely made up of riffs that I'd constructed going into the session. To me, it's a punk song; a nasty, nasty punk song. Lyrically speaking, I'm sure everyone can relate to the situation of needing to produce, yet feeling utterly uninspired to write anything of any perceived value whatsoever; this is the tipping point. When you refuse to acknowledge the elephant in the room as a muse and instead you slump in your chair and shoot blanks."

'Entrench' will hit the stores on March 15th (March 19th in North America). The album will be available as a Digipak CD and double LP (available in black, green, and orange) with a download card at the Season of Mist e-shop.

The 2012 Juno Award winning band has announced a full North American tour for March and April with TODAY IS THE DAY, BLACK TUSK, and FIGHT AMP. The band recently added several new shows (Philadelphia's show has been moved to Washington, DC on March 9th, and the Kamloops show has been replaced with Edmonton, AB on March 31st). Confirmed tour dates are listed below.
